A Texas legislator introduced a bill that would stop the independent Texas power grid from being used to power mass, warrantless surveillance by the NSA last week.
Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R) introduced House Bill 3916 (HB3916) on March 13. The legislation would prohibit any political subdivision in Texas from providing water or electricity to any federal agency "involved in the routine surveillance or collection and storage of bulk telephone or e-mail records or related metadata concerning any citizen of the United States and that claims the legal authority to collect and store the bulk telephone or e-mail records or metadata concerning any citizen of the United States without the citizen's consent or a search warrant that describes the person, place, or thing to be searched or seized." "No water and no electricity means no super-computers. That will shut down NSA operations in Texas. If Congress doesn't want to reform the NSA then we'll just turn it off," OffNow founder and associate director Michael Boldin said. IMMEDIATE EFFECT If passed, HB3916 would ultimately turn off water and electric service to the massive Texas Cryptologic Center in San Antonio. In 2006, the Baltimore Sun reported that the NSA had maxed out capacity of the Baltimore-area power grid via Baltimore Gas and Electric. Insiders reported that, "The NSA is already unable to install some costly and sophisticated new equipment. At minimum, the problem could produce disruptions leading to outages and power surges. At worst, it could force a virtual shutdown of the agency." |

Texas Senate approves open carry
AUSTIN — A bill lifting some of the state's restrictions on handguns cleared the Texas Senate along a party line vote of 20 to 11 Monday. State law currently allows the open carrying of long guns like rifles and shotguns. Handguns may only be carried in a concealed fashion by those who obtain a license. A House panel is set to consider two gun bills — one permitting open carry with a license and another allowing concealed carry on college campuses — Tuesday morning. http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/texas-news/2015/03/16/texas-senate-starts-open-carry-debate/24872601/ God Bless Texas ! |
